Ok, I've uploaded 10 examples of median strips here:

Hopefully we can use them to discuss whether this proposal is helpful, and
what alternatives there might be otherwise. In most of these images, I think
either we would still map it with two ways (even if the divided=* tag
exists), or we would currently just leave it as a single way, missing out on
detail.

Would love to hear your thoughts there.
